In 2008, eighteen climbers reached the summit of K2, one of the world's most dangerous mountains. Just two days later, disaster struck, resulting in the deaths of eleven individuals.

Through interviews with survivors and breathtaking visuals, the film investigates the psychological drive to conquer such formidable peaks and questions the ultimate price of pushing the boundaries of human endurance.
